A promising writer-turned-adjunct college professor grapples with the harsh reality of being undervalued and disposable in academia. As he confronts mounting disillusionment, he must chart a new path forward. A deeply personal meditation on purpose, identity, and resilience in a system that prizes flexibility over commitment.

Please join us for special post-screening Q&As with local filmmaker Ron Najor after the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night screenings of "Adjunct."

More showtimes TBA!
